Today is a day of remembrance,
when a moment of silence gives us the opportunity
to say prayers for the dead.
It is a chance to say prayers
for those who
ascended suddenly to the next world
when their plane struck twin towers
or struck the Pentagon
or crashed into a field
and those who were not in the buildings
when the planes struck them.
A moment of silence
gives us a chance to say prayers for the dead
or reflect on how the deaths changed our lives
or where we were when we heard the news about
the twin towers.
September 11
is a day of remembrance
of reflection
on past events
and on those who
are no longer with us because
of those events.
Today is a day of remembrance,
and after the moment of silence
and after remembering the dead
and after saying prayers for those who ascended
suddenly into the next world,
we will continue with our day
still remembering
and still crying.
September 11 a day of remembrance
